Outsourcing to Asia is such a big thing. What other jobs could be outsourced to other countries?

Technical support, software development, and medical transcription are being outsourced to Asia. With these jobs moving out of the US and Europe, what other jobs could be outsourced? Paperclip testing perhanps?

Globalization is enevitable. The wise worker will train him or herself to learn new skills quickly. In the not very distant future, virtually any job which does not require extensive training, or which isn't in a small business or government, will be outsourced.

Become agile. Become trainable. Stay alert.

since outsourcing to third world countries has begun, customer service has hit an all time low, this is fact

As slow as my Pizza Delivery guy is might as well outsource that job to, maybe i can get it quicker!!

Have you read "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman? In this book, Friedman explains the recent historical events which has lead to globalization and points out that most jobs except service industry can be outsourced, or some aspects can. To remain competitive, we must sharpen our skills and the value we add.

Quite a few things actually. Outsourcing is not new - countries like US are outsourcing manufacturing from a long time - buy any product in US, and chances are, you will find a Made in China label on every second thing. The rule is - buy where it's cheapest from ,sell where you can get the maximum money from.
The current wave of outsourcing is focused on services, and hence attention due to the people factor. Procurement, HR is the next wave, but finally, it's all in the direction of global economy. Paperclip testing, though, will never find the right ROI to be outsourced ;)
